Caps Have Been One of the Most Consistent Teams

Washington Capitals Hockey

One of the most glaring things that jump out at you when you look back at the Caps season is how consistent they've been, never losing more than four games in a row. The NHL season is indeed one of the most grueling schedules of any in professional sports. Not only do you have an exhibition season, and a regular season of 82 games, but then you have up to two months of playoffs every other night for the last teams standing. The Caps have exhibited the kind of consistency a team needs and much of the credit has to go to Boudreau and his style of coaching. All teams are going to have their inevitable down periods through the course of the long season, and it's primarily up to the coaching staff to keep these bumps in the road from becoming major potholes. Boudreau has done a great job of keeping that from happening.
